Datou knew he was joking. Seeing how relaxed he was, he also relaxed and shouted to the black snake half-seriously, "Hey, what do you want to do?"

Although he was not nervous, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy. When he saw the black snake raising its upper body again after the big head shouted, he was afraid that it would suddenly attack, so he put his hand on the big head's shoulder. As soon as the black snake was in trouble, he would immediately pull the big head away.

Throw it out first.

But the black snake made no further move and still sat on the high platform, looking down at the two of them coldly.

Naturally, Datou didn't really think that Black Snake would answer. After shouting, he looked back, waiting for him to make up his mind.

He did not rush to speak, but frowned and looked at the black snake high up. He had seen many poisonous snakes, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of poisonous snake that was as black as ink. This thing was neither a black tip nor a black ring, nor a black snake.

There are also records about snakes and insects in Qianjin Yifang. Recalling it quickly, there is no record about this kind of black snake. You must know that there are not many pure-colored snakes, and even fewer black ones. ??

Moreover, ordinary snakes cannot grow so big, and the black snake also has a strange red scale on its forehead. Could it be that this venomous snake is a strange species that changed color by chance?

Regardless of the scale color, I looked again and found nothing that matched it.

"Datou, you have been to more places than me. Have you ever seen this kind of venomous snake?" he asked.

"No," Big Head shook his head, "This guy looks like he has three eyes. It's really scary."

Without asking again, although he could not tell the origin of this black snake, he discovered a detail, that is, the scales of this black snake are not very regular in size. Although the size of the scales is related to the size of its body, it also depends on its size.

Living environment, if the same kind of snake grows in the warm south, its scales will be larger than those growing in the cold north. The scales of this black snake are not very regular, indicating that it is not native, but migrated from elsewhere.

So far.

"Sir, what on earth does this guy want to do?" Datou was very confused.

"I don't know." He shook his head. If the black giant snake immediately attacked the two of them after it appeared, it would not be troublesome for the two of them to kill it. But after the black snake appeared, it just blocked their way, which was very disturbing.

People are confused.

"Does it not want us to go up the mountain?" Datou asked again.

"It's possible." Not sure.

"Sir, do you think this thing was raised by the original monk?" Datou asked.

"Why do you say that?" he asked.

"Look at the red scales on its head, do they look a bit like the red mole on Yu Yi's forehead?" Datou said, "And I've been to many temples, and it seems that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas there all have red spots on their heads.

Son."

"That makes sense." He nodded.

"What should we do now?" Datou asked, "If it doesn't attack us, you won't kill it. How about we go around it?"

"We are still not sure why it is blocking here," he said. "If it is really to prevent us from going up the mountain, even if we go around, it will follow and stop us."

At this point, he stepped up a level and said, "Let's go, go straight forward. If it is really raised by monks and has become spiritual, it will not attack us."

Datou hurriedly followed, "What if it attacks us?"

no answer.

The two climbed up the stairs and soon reached a high platform. At this time, there were only thirty-six steps away from the black snake, and the distance was only four feet away.

The black snake was still coiled there motionless. Since snakes have no eyelids, the change in its expression cannot be seen.

Turning around and looking to the west, you can see a huge water pool in the northwest. The water pool is located directly below the main hall, about two miles away from the main hall. It is a regular circle, a hundred feet square, and is surrounded by

Built of bluestone.

Temples usually have life-release pools. The pool in the northwest is undoubtedly the life-release pool of Wuxiang Temple, and the black giant snake in front of you must have lived there on weekdays.

Since the black snake lives in the release pond, it shows that it is closely related to Wuxiang Temple. It also shows that the black snake has spirituality and is not cruel and cruel. If it is wild and untamable and bites everyone on sight, the monk will not allow it to kill itself.

Live in the release pond.

The last thirty or so steps were walked very slowly, because after all, this place has been abandoned for many years, and without the feeding of the monks, the black snake has probably returned to its wild nature. In addition, just because the black snake does not bite the monk, it does not mean that it will not bite the monk.

If you bite a Taoist priest, it's better to be careful.

After walking halfway up the stairs, Black Snake still did not attack, and gradually felt relieved, because the two of them had now entered the Black Snake's attack range, but the Black Snake did not attack them.

The two approached the black snake cautiously, and finally came to the platform where it was entrenched. Up to this moment, the black snake was still coiled around.

The two of them moved sideways, walked past the west side, and stepped on the ascending steps.

After climbing another dozen stairs, the two finally let out a sigh of relief. The black snake was indeed spiritual and did not attack them.

Just when the two of them put down their guard and walked up quickly, the black snake suddenly stretched its body and swam towards them in a winding way.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly speeded up, but the two were fast, and the black snake was also fast. Sensing the abnormality, they stretched out their hands to grab the big head, changed their behavior and walked slowly. When the two slowed down, the black snake also slowed down.

Come down.

The two stopped, and the black snake also stopped, keeping a distance of about two feet from the two at all times.

Being followed step by step by such a huge creature, with its snake body twisting and hesitating, would make anyone's hair stand on end. The big head looked back with a wry smile, "Sir, what on earth does this guy want to do?"

He did not answer Datou's question, but eagerly sorted out the clues, "Wuxiang Temple has been abandoned for many years. The reason why it can be preserved so completely is undoubtedly because this thing is entrenched here and scares away trespassers. But before we removed it from

We walked by it, but it never attacked us, which shows that it has spirituality. But when we walked around it and continued to go up, it kept following us. It may be worried that we will damage the temple."

"That makes sense. I'll feed it first and keep it close." Big Tou turned around the bag on his back and took out a pack of braised meat.

Datou was about to open the paper bag and throw it away, but was stopped by a raised hand, "Don't feed meat, try throwing it on fire."

"Yes, let's see if it's a vegetarian." Datou stuffed the braised food back into the bag, changed it to a different fire and threw it out.

Huoshuo was thrown out and rolled down the steps. Just when Datou thought that Huoshuo was wasted and wanted to take another one, the black snake turned around and chased it, stopped the Huoshuo and swallowed it in one gulp.

Go down.

"Oh my God, this guy is really a vegetarian." Datou was very surprised.

I also find it interesting. It seems that the monks of Wuxiang Temple are quite capable. They can actually use Buddhism to influence a poisonous snake to become a vegetarian. You must know that snakes and insects are cold-blooded, and their minds are far lower than those of hot-blooded beasts.

After confirming that the black snake was spiritual, the two of them stopped being nervous and continued to climb the stairs.

But Datou was still not at ease, and would look back every few steps. Seeing the black snake following behind, he still couldn't help but feel frightened, so he threw fire frequently, and sometimes deliberately threw it downwards to lure the black snake forward.

Chase.

"Sir, you said that if there is such a thing in the monk's temple, how dare those people come to burn incense and worship Buddha?" Datou asked casually.

Then he said, "Although this snake has spirituality, it is highly poisonous after all. If it comes in and out at will, it will not scare the pilgrims. I suspect that this black snake did not show up easily back then. It should have been surrendered by some eminent monk elsewhere.

Bring them back here to tame and educate them."

"If you want to put it that way, then this monk from Wuxiang Temple really has the ability to subjugate and eliminate demons." Datou said.

"With its great reputation, Wu Xushi," said, "Wuxiang Temple must have magical powers, but the place is empty now, and it will be very difficult to find the secret book collection."

"Yes," Datou raised his head and looked around, "this temple is really too big."
